Wmts antr fimtimi COLUMBUST GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 19, 1853 Senatorial Election Postponed. A letter was received this evening from the Editor of this paper, from Milledgeville, stating that the Sena torial election had been postponed until the next session of the Legislature. The letter is a lengthy one, and contains matters of interest which will appear in our weekly. [editorial correspondence.] Milledgeville, Nov. 16. SENATE. Mr. Mostly, offered a resolution to appoint a com mittee of one from each judicial district, to report upon the propriety of permanently locating the capitol. This is a question of great interest not only to the citizens of Milledgeville, but of the whole State. Let the question be settled. The present accomodations are wretched, and will not be improved so long as there is any doubt about the location of the capitol.— There is a very general feeling among the members in favor of removal. Mr. Paulk, offered a bill to substitute annual sessions of the Legislature in place of biennial, and to change the constitution for that purpose. Mr. Ridley, offered a bill to pardon Elijah Bird, of DeKalb, now under sentence of death. Mr. Sturgis, introduced a bill to incorporate a Bank, to be located at Columbus, Ga., with a capitol stock of $250,000, with priviledge of increasing it to $500,000, and to be called the “Planters and Exchange Bank of Columbus.” The bill for the relief of Wm. Taylor, of Macon coun ty, the bail of Harlec Barfield, was put upon its pas sage. Messrs. Robinson, Mounger and Thomas, ad ressed the Senate in favor of the bill, and Messrs. Mosely and Dawson, in opposition to it. Mr. Sturgis gave his support to the bill, on the ground that all pro per exertions had been used by Taylor, to bring Bar field to justice. Upon the call of ayes and nays, the bill was passed by a vote of ayes 74, nays 21. The Governor has given liis assent to the resolution of the two Houses, to elect a U. S. Senator, on Friday next. Miscellaneous. The election of tho State Printer and of a Superin tendent of the State Road, have been deferred to a fu ture day, by the action of the House of Representatives. Your Senator and Representatives, are dilligent in ♦heir attendance upon their official duties, and are promi nent members of the Legislature. I have, heretofore, neglected to notice that a bill has been ‘introduced into the House, to authorise the estab lishment of a Lottery, for the purpose of raising SIO,OOO to build a Masonic Hall in Columbus. The crowd is much lessened here, and members have some time to attend to their duties. The weather is delightful. We are pleased to notice among the distinguished visitors at the capitol, Hon. Matthew Hall McAlister, of California. He is in excellent health and spirits, and it is reported that he still claims to be a citizen of Geor gia. It is said that he has accumulated an immense fortune in the western El Dorado. Milledgeville, Nov. 17. Senator Nominated. Last night, a caucus was held by the Democratic members of the Legislature to nominate a candidate for Senator of the United States ; and we are gratified to announce that Charles J. McDonald has been chosen by a ninjoriiy of two-thirds of the votes east for that position. The fight was not so hard as was anticipa ted ; McDonald started ahead, and continued to gain upon his competitors to. the end of the race. He is a noble old Roman, and though not so fast as some of his competitors, he has bottom and will always do to bet on. His election is almost beyond [contingency, aud though the friends of Cobb are chagrined and mortified at his defeat, we are gratified to learn that he grace fully submits to the decision of his party, and will give his successful rival a hearty support. This is manly and Democratic, and has done much to engratiate him in the favor of the party. His time will yet come. — There is no exultation over his defeat, and m a few days, we anticipate a cordial re-union in every wing of the party. The Vote in Caucus.

The election will be held to-morrow. Some excitement has been produced by the intro duction yesterday, into the House, by Mr. Irwin, of Wilkes, and, into the Senate, to-day by Mr. Pope, of Wilkes, of a set of resolutions, setting forth the princi ples of the Conservative party, condemning the Admin istration of President Pieroe for alleged Free Soil ap pointments, expressing sympathy for Daniel S, Dickin son, and opposing the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Irwin, made a fierce speech in favor of printing the Resolutions, but a quietus was given the movement in the House, by calling for the previous question, which was sustained, and the House refused to print the Resolutions. In the Senate, Messrs. Stephens, Pope, Mosely, Miller and Ribley, advocated the motion to print the Resolu tions, and Messrs. Sturgis and McGechee against it.— The motion to print, was carried by a vote of 55 to 4. These Resolutions were intended as a bomb shell, to blow up the harmony of the Democratic party, and se cure the defeat of McDonald. The object was defeat- No devision was made by them, and no ill feeling produced. Several democrats in the Senate, voted to print out of courtesy to the opposition, but they all stand firmly by the standard of the party. Every day brings to light new bills to form new counties, Mr. Clarke introduced a bill to organise anew county out of Baker and Early. Mr. Smith, of Coweta, introduced a bill to organise anew county out of parts of Coweta, Merriwether, Pike and Fayette. The President of the Senate announced this morn ing, the following committee on the “Permanent Loca tion of the Capitol.” Messrs. Mosely, Anderson, Mil ler, W hite, Morris, Brown, of Baldwin, Brown, of Thomas, May, Ridley, Lambeth, Clark, Watts and Dean. Mr, Saftold, has introduced a bill to incorporate the Madison and Eatonton Railroad company. Mr. Cone, introduced a bill to change the Constitu tion, so as to give to the people, the election of an At torney General and Solicitors General for the several circuits. Mr. Jones, of Liberty, introduced a bill to change the Constitution, so as to locate the Supreme Court at the Capitol, also a bill to increase the terms of Judges of the Supreme Court to 12 years, and to raise their salaries to 3000 dollars. Mr. Sturgis, as chairman of the Judiciary committee, reported back the bill to abolish Surveyorship in joint tenancy and recommended its passage. Mr. Strickland, introduced a bill to compell owners of lands to record their bills in the office of Clerks of the Superior Courts. Mr. Lyons, introduced a bill to change the time of holding the election for Judges of the Superior Courts, from October to December. The Conservate party have called a caucus to-night. We presume the object of the call is to complete their arrangements for the Senatorial fight to-morrow. Sen ator Dawson is still here, and will run against McDon ald. He cannot be elected, unless some Democratic members are faithless to their pledges. A bill has been introduced into the House, pledging State aid to all Railroad enterprises under certain con ditions. There is a strong opposition among many members to all unusual appropriations, and this bill may fail, though many enlightened members feel the necessity of some such Legislation. L. A Word about the Militia Laws of Georgia. Time and again, by various Legislative assemblies, has our Militia system been corrected and amended, but all to no effective purpose. It is unproductive of any beneficial results from its very constitution. No amendments can effect the desired ends, but the whole must be radicaly changed. About thirty-five pages of Cobb’s Digest, containing ond hundred and twenty-three sections are devoted to the laws regulating the different branches of the Militia system, and what do they ef fect ? It is true, each county holds its established musters, but such organizations, as at the appointed times present themselves, were never in any other country styled Military. The very recollections of a militia parade, involutary begets a broad grin, and the descriptive cronicles of the “Georgia Scenes,” supply a faithful memoranda of its operations. Now, it may do very well to laugh over, and afford amusement to those who have leisure for a frolick now and then, but there are those whose time is valuable— who by the requisitions of the law are often put to a great deal of ineonveniance and pecuniary loss, and to whom there is just cause of complaint, when they all know that the whole is one giand humbug. Theoretically, each State must have a military organiza tion, with laws and regulations, and proper officers to carry it into operation ; practically, this organization should effect the desired objects. What earthly good we should like to know, arises from our present system ? We have the theory ; it embodies the duties and obliga tions of a State ; but practically, none of these are effec ted. Then let the whole be changed. One well or ganised volunteer company, is worth a legion of Militia. There are a number of well disciplined volunteer corps in the State, and they receive some little immu nities tor the trouble and expense, to which they are put in order to sustain themselves. But the encouragement is not sufficient to supply the hiatus produced by our un productive militia system, and we suggest, that the Legislature would do the State some service, by abol ishing the present Militia system, and effecting a volun teer organization that would realise all public demands, at the same time contributing to the well being of the great body of the people. But how can this be effected ? certainly not without taxation, which thunder stroke of a thought, begets such a paralysis of the political nerves of grave Legislators, that they are unable any longer to look the subject in the face. What citizen would not prefer paying an anual tax, of twenty-five or fifty cents, to the trouble and inconvenience of assembling, often times’miles from home to the neglect of business, and sacrifice of time, in order to go through the inumery of a Militia drill. If some suoli plan could be adopted, the revenue collected by districts, (the tax of course to be levied only upon those subject, by the present law to Militia duty,) and this to be expended towards the equipment and support of volunteer companies under proper regulations and restrictions, and the overplus, if any, to belong to a military fund of the State, to be ex pended according to the wants of the service. Some such system, of which the above is but a crude outline, would tend to build up a body of citizen soldiery, ready at any, and all times, to take the field well disciplined and powerful. The body of the citizens of course still subject to duties and obligation to be performed only when active service might be required. Our militia system is supposed to organise the citizens into a milita ry body, and the drills and parades required by law, to acquaint him with the practise, and render him skilled in military exercises. It would be absurd to say that it effects either of these ends. Let us have something then that will in part, at least, result in good ; or abolish it altogether. We hope the members ot the Legislature will, while devising reform, turn their at tention to the remodeling of the militia system, and for the reputation of the State if not for the benefit of her citizens, obviate this standing theme for mockery and burlesque, which tends but to bring ridicule upon the noble profession of Arms and contempt for existing laws. Domkstic Wine. —We were honored by Charles A. Peabody, Esq., in company with a few friends, with an invitation to try the quality of Longworth's Sparkling Isabella. It proved a most delicious Wine, far superior to four-fifths of the “imported” Champaign. It has a good body—is pungent and sparkling, and does credit to the successful culture which the domestic vintage has received. Millions of this wine are now pressed and finds its way to every part of the country. Hen. jHiram Warner. The following letter from the above gentleman was received at this office on the 31st ult. The editor, be ing uncertain whether it was written for the public eye, wrote to inquire of Judge Warner on this point.— The reply came in the absence of the editor, and was forwarded to him at Milledgeville. As Judge Warner writes that the letter of the 29th ult. was intended for publication, we cheerfully give it a place in our columns. Gkeentille, 27th October, 1853. Dear Sir: —My attention has just been called to a com munication in the Constitutionalist Republic, of the 26th inst., in which my name is mentioned as a candidate for Senator at the approaching session of the Legislature.— Had my personal wishes been consulted, I should have been spared the mortification of seeing my name published in the newspapers, as an “aspirant” tor an office, for which lam not a candidate, and you the trouble of writing an article, (without pretending to question your right to do sol discriminating between political friends who are can didates for that office, and who have equal claims, to the support and confidence of the Democratic party. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, HIRAM WARNER. James Gardner, Esq., Editor Constitutionalist &, Republic, Augusta, Ga. President Pierce and the Sons of New Hampshii e in Boston. —The Sons of New Hampshire in Boston, had a grand Festival on the evening of the 2d inst. The procession numbering 2,000, marched to titchburg Hall, where t hey partook of an excellent dinner, after which came the toasts, interspersed with a variety of brief but eloquent speeches, presenting altogether a festive gathering abounding in eminent talent, ability, wit, and genial humor. Letters were announced from Lewis Cass, Daniel S. Dickinson, John P. Hale, Gen. ITpham, and a host of others. The following telle graphio communication from the President of the Uni ted States was read amid enthusiastic cheers : Washington, Nov. 2. To the Sons of New Hampshire m Boston: The most precious treasures of memory will be brought among you to-night, and my heart’s warmest sympathies will mingle with yours. He who, amidst all changes ot fortune and locality, loves bis native town, liis native county, and his native State, can hardly fail to love his whole country, and to revere and uphold, with steady de votion, this glorious Union. Frank Pierce. Ex-President Van Buren. —The statement which has appeared, to the effect, that Martin Van Buren had been appointed by Mr. Pierce as umpire, on behalf of the United States, in the mixed commission assem bling in London, to settle British and American claims, is contradicted. The Washington Union says : “The President has made no snch appointment, and has no power to make one. lie has nothing to do in selecting an umpire, but that is the business of the commissioners. The whole story was too plain a misrepresentation to be adoptee by the Intelligencer. Important Changes in the U. S. Military Depart ment. —The Washinton Star publishes an order from the Adjutant General, abolishing the geographical di visions of the Military Department, and substituting the following: Department of the East—Country cast of the Missis sippi ; headquarters, Baltimore. Department of the West—Country west ot the Mis sissippi and east of the Rocky Mountaint; headquarters, St. Louis. Department Texas—Headquarters • Corpus Christi. Department Mexico—Headquarters, Albuqueique. Department of the Pacific—Country west of the Rocky Mountains—ex Utah and New Mexico; head quarters, San Francisco. The order concludes: —“And the President fur ther directs that officers of rank and experience loe placed in command of the several Departments estab lished.” The Forces of Russsia. —A London correspondent of the National Intelligencer says that a little calculation respecting the military power of Russia makes the force which the Czar could employ in a European war, with out the reserve, the local garrisons, or the army in the Caucasus being in any way reduced, to consist of 36S battalions of infantry, 468 squadrons of cavalry, and 996 guns; or, in other words, in the eventuality of a European war, Russia could operate with a force of 500.000 men and 1000 guns, without laying itself open to Great Britain, Sweden, or to the Caucasus. In case of a great tear, Russia could operate, by means of her first, second and third reserves, and the Cossaks and Tartar forces, with one million of combatants and with 1800 guns. This is the estimate of a Prussian ofticer et groat experience on the point in question. Mules. —Seven thousand live hundred mules have passed through one toll gate in Kentucky on the road to Cumberland Gap this season, destined for Georgia and South Carolina. The mule crop this year is estimated at 33 percent larger than usual. Prices, however, are very high notwithstanding. General Twiggs passed through Little Rock on the 28th ult., on his way to Fort Smith. He was accompanied by Dr. McCormick and Captain Lay of bis staff. Statue to Daniel Webster. —A letter from Florence in the Newark Advertiser , says the friends of Mr. Webster will be gratified to know that Mr. Powers has received an order from Boston for a bronze statue of the great states man, to be placed in front of the Massachusetts State House. O’ The New York Herald is of opinion that the advocates of the Maine Law will have a | majory in the New York Legislature. It is calculated that the postage on the letter sent by the President of the United States ’ to the Emperor of Japan will have cost about $1,246,767 45. OCT The cost of supporting the public pau pers of New York, exceeds this year four hun : dred and twenty-five thousand dollars. | The Fisheries. —The fishing season on the ; Banks and the Northeast coast, just closed, ap ! pears to have been an unprofitable one to the great bulk of the fishermen. The Boston Tran script remarks: The time for cod and mackerel fishing is now about over, and the season has been a very hard one for the fishermen. We are informed that the average wages earned by the men who have been voyagers where the hands had a share of the profits will not be more than twenty-five i cents a day. A few vessels have been quite | fortunate, and we hear of one captain whose share will be about SI6OO for the season. In the fishing districts, there is much discussion re specting the plans for the future. Many of those engaged in the business will quit it, as there is not enough profit to warrant its prosecution. Jewish Oppression Revived. —By the late ar rival from Europe we learn the fact that the Austrian government has signalized itself by a backward step in civilization. It has restored disabilities which the barbarism of the middle ages imposed upon the Jews, and which were only removed by the revolution of 1848. The Austrian government seems determined that no benegt shall accrue to any class of its subjects from that revolution. Hereafter, the Jews in Austria are forbidden to hold real estate in their own name but all property of that description to which they lay claim, most be registered in the name ot Christians.

O’ The New Y r ork Journal of Commerce speaks of Southerners visiting the Northern States : (t No Great Loss without some Small gain. — The recent ravages of yellow fever at the South will have one good effect. The dispersion of such a vast number of the Southern people over the Northern States by which the two extremes of the nation were brought into intimate con nexion, and old associations revived or new ones created, has undoubtedly done much to restore that natural good will which existed previous to the agitation to remove groundless prejudi ces, and establish unanimity of sentiment on important social and political questions. South ern slaveholders, direct from their sunny plan tations, have been discovered not to be the mon sters of cruelty which Northern fanatics have represented them to be ; and more correct in formation respecting the condition of the South ern slave has been disseminated over the land than any number of Uncle Tom’s Cabins could ever impart/’ A Noble Slag Hound. —About a month or so ago, as the Dickinson’s Landing “Hawk Eye,” Mr. J. Smith—accompanied by Mr. Crystler— was hunting on the classic banks of the River Nation, near Crystler’s Mills, his dogs pressed close on a deer, which took to the river, where the hunters pursued it in a canoe. On ap proaching the animal, they were surprised to perceive it struggling desperately, being every now and then jerked suddenly under water. The hunters immediately approached, and with the aid of others at hand, dragged the deer into the canoe, when to the astonishment of all pres ent, a large turtle (some forty pounds in weight) was found firmly fastned to the deer’s tail, which would undoubtedly have been shortly drowned by its amphibious assailant. The tur tle retained its grip for upwards of two hours after the deer was killed. This extraordinary circumstance is attested by several witnesses, says a Montreal paper. Missisippi Cotton Crop. —The editor of the Port Gibson Herald says: “After traveling through forty-eight counties of this State, dur ing the past summer, we feel prepared to say that the cotton crop of Mississippi will fall one third below- the crop of last year. The boll worm and the rot have together visited every cotton field we have seen, and the injury sustain ed is immense.” Shocking Tragedy. —A telegraphic dispatch, a few days since, mentioned, in brief terms, the murder at Louisville, Ky., of a schoolmaster, Mr. Bulter, by one of his pupils named Ward. Mr. Butler, it would appear, had slightly pun ished a little brother of Ward for eating ches nutes in school and telling a falsehoood. The latter had gone home and given his brother his own version of the case ; ancl he had deliberate* ly purchashed and loaded a pair of pistols, with which he went and shot Mr. Butler, in cold blood, and without a word of explanation. The N. Y. Times says: “Ward, the principal actor in this dreadful tragedy, is the author of a book recently pub lished, entitled English Items, which attracted some attention lrom the violence and coarseness edits vituperation of every thing English. His family is one of the first in Louisville. Miss bailie Ward, the lady whose marriage to Col. 1 . B. Lawrence, ol Boston, some years since, and subsequently separated from him, attracted public attention, is his sister/’ I From the Savannah Daily Morning News. ] THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
